Originally an unnamed amnesiac who shows up on the doorstep of one Dr. Storm. Storm has isolated a chemical which causes its subject to take on a skull face and gain super-strength. Storm gives the amnesiac the chemical, but while it's taking effect a gang of thugs try to force Storm to join their group. They rough him up, but then the amnesiac comes to and, angered by what he's seeing, turns into The Terror. He kills the gang and returns to Storm's laboratory, only to see and hear Storm die. The amnesiac then decides to fight against crime and evil. He possesses super human strength, stamina, speed and reflexes. Injuries inflicted upon him in normal form are instantly healed when he transforms into the Terror.

Seeking shelter in a glowing cave, Bruce muses to himself that maybe the cave contains a deposit of radium. However, the cave turns out to be a tunnel which leads to a secret valley. Bruce travels through the tunnel and, upon discovering this wondrous valley, passes out! Waking, he is confronted by the beings that live in this place.
